Red Roof Inns always welcome dogs. They're usually decent enough places to sleep for humans too. See More
New York City to St. Louis: Kid activities
Couple of thoughts...in Pittsburgh there's the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, which is plenty kid-friendly, although museum visits are awkward during the pandemic. A great, informal place to stop for food if you like a good fish sandwich... See More

If it were my trip, I’d stay over in Siena. It’s magical. See More
Italy: Meeting daughter in Florence, want to go to Naples/Sorrento end in Rome
